<p>Here is a sports example that I'm working on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Having played tennis all my life, I thought why do people have to roll dry tennis courts after a rain. Why not have a robot do the monotonous job of pushing water off a court.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thus I patented and am creating the automatic tennis court drying machine at <a href="http://autocourtdryer.com/" target="_blank">www.autocourtdryer.com</a></p>

<p>Hi, my name is Pablo Sandoval from Uruguay.</p>
<p>Currently in the region of Uruguay, Brasil and Argentina our company leads in terms of application of unmanned technology in agriculture , only in the last harvest (summer in the southern hemisphere) we flew approximately 23,000 hectares in soybean, rice and sugar cane, for customers and own fields.<br/> This year with the acquisition of new unmanned systems we plan flying 40,000 hectares.<br/> The benefit with these flights translates into cost savings of chemical application in the field (applies only where needed ) and a increased performance from the crops and care of the environment.<br/> This tool is just one more layer of information within the complex GIS system we handle, since the UAV flight information alone is invaluable but should supplement it with other data such as the chemical study of soil , digital elevation models , satellite imagery , crop yield monitors , among other things , allowing us to achieve a high degree of accuracy in the differential management of different sectors of the field to which we call "environments" .<br/> <br/> Mainly we get:<br/> Appropriate choice of crops<br/> Design strategies for fertilization and amendments<br/> Improved average yields<br/> Diagnosis of each environment<br/> Erosion control<br/> Efficient management of inputs<br/> Reduced environmental impact</p>
<p></p>
<p>A tipical mission of crop mapping consists in one flight of two hours at 1.000 meters (3200ft) of altitude and in a range of 5 to 15 km from the GCS. The UAV is called "Arcangel I", derived of the "Lipan III" (the military version from the Argentinean Army).<br/> <br/> To learn more about our company visit our website: <a href="http://www.adp.com.uy/axa.php">www.adp.com.uy/axa.php</a><br/> <br/> We also invite you to view our corporate video where are shown the uav as a standardized part of the final work:<br/> <a href="http://youtu.be/aLwqJjXSXt0">http://youtu.be/aLwqJjXSXt0</a><br/> <br/> We are open to your suggestions, ever focused on contributing to the development of UAV technology and to expand this sustainable way of doing agriculture.<br/> <br/> We welcome your comments and I hope to contribute what you need in this great community.<br/> Best Regards</p>
